| Seascape Resort is located at 1 Seascape Resort Drive in Aptos, CA, just off of Highway 1. Aptos is located on the California Coast about 9 miles south of Santa Cruz. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prior to making your travel arrangements please check the Activities page which is being updated as new events and details are determined. It includes at least the couples shower on Thursday, rehearsal on Friday, and wedding/reception on Saturday. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Airports | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Seascape Resort is 26 miles from the San Jose Airport (SJC) and 58 miles from the San Francisco Airport (SFO). From many locations, flying into one of these airports is much less expensive than the other, so do check both. The Monterey Peninsula Airport (MRY) is 34 miles from the resort and is the prettiest drive. It is a small airport, though, so it may be tough or more expensive to fly in there. You will probably connect through SFO or SJC, but if you really despise winding highways, flying into MRY will mean you can avoid driving on Route 17. If you rent a car, here are directions to the resort from the airports. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
